SWIM: Welcome

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET REGISTERED AND YOU INTEND TO DO SO, PLEASE REGISTER ASAP. THE GROUPS ARE FILLING UP FAST!

OUR SEASON BEGINS WITH THE ANNUAL FALL SWIM CLINIC.

THE FALL SWIM CLINIC WILL BE CONDUCTED ON 6 CONSECUTIVE SUNDAYSAT THE GREISS PARK POOL.

DUE TO THE LARGE SIZE OF OUR YOUNGER GROUPS

CLINIC STARTS 09/10/17

THE CLINIC WILL BE SPLIT INTO THREE SESSIONS:

9:00AM – 10:00AM:

ALL SWIMMERS WHO WILL BE OLDER THAN 10 YEARS ON DECEMBER 1st

10:00AM - 11:00AM:

ALL GIRL SWIMMERS WHO ARE 10 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER AS OF DECEMBER 1st

11:00AM - 12:00PM:

ALL BOY SWIMMERS WHO ARE 10 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER AS OF DECEMBER 1st

ATTENDANCE AT THE SWIM CLINIC IS OPTIONAL BUT ENCOURAGED, PARTICULARLY FOR OUR YOUNG SWIMMERS.

THE CLINIC ALLOWS OUR COACHES AND SWIMMERS TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER. THE COACHES GET TO ASSESS THE SKILLS OF THEIR SWIMMERS AND WORK WITH THEM TO IMPROVE THOSE SKILLS AND BEGIN THE CONDITIONING PROCESS.

THE SWIM TEAM COMPETES WITH OTHER CYO SWIM TEAMS IN THE FOLLOWING GROUPS (ALL BASED UPON A 12/1 CUTOFF DATE FOR AGE):

GIRLS: 8 & UNDER, 10 & UNDER, 12 & UNDER, 14 & UNDER AND 17 & UNDER

BOYS: 8 & UNDER, 10 & UNDER, 12 & UNDER, 14 & UNDER AND 17 & UNDER

THE YOUNGEST AGE WE WILL ACCEPT IS AGE 6 AS OF 12/1.

THE OLDEST SWIMMERS WE CAN ACCEPT ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENTERING THEIR SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

THE GOAL IS TO TEACH AND COACH ALL FOUR COMPETITIVE SWIM STROKES:

FREESTYLE, BACKSTROKE, BREAST STROKE & BUTTERFLY.

GREISS
PARK PROVIDES A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT TO SWIM, PARTICULARLY FOR OUR
YOUNGEST SWIMMERS. IT IS ONLY 5 FT. DEEP AT ITS DEEPEST AND OUR
COACHES SPEND A GOOD PART OF THEIR TIME IN THE POOL GIVING INSTRUCTION
AND ASSISTANCE.

THERE IS A CERTIFIED LIFEGUARD ON DUTY AT THE POOL AT ALL TIMES.

PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO STAY AT THE POOL DURING THEIR CHILD'S SESSION.

A PARENTS MEETING WILL BE HELD BEFORE CLINIC STARTS. THE PARENTS MEETING IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE PLAN ON
ATTENDING, EVEN IF YOUR CHILD DOES NOT PLAN ON ATTENDING THE SWIM
CLINIC.

OVER
THE COURSE OF OUR SEASON YOU WILL RECEIVE EMAILS REGARDING INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE TEAM. PLEASE MAKE A HABIT OF OPENING AND READING THESE
MESSAGES.

IF
YOU LEARN THAT FAMILIES WHO HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE TEAM HAVE NOT
RECEIVED THIS EMAIL, PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP SO WE CAN UPDATE OUR EMAIL
LIST. THERE ARE WELL OVER 100 FAMILIES ON OUR TEAM AND WE WANT TO BE
SURE WE REACH ALL OF THEM.

PLEASE

OUR COACHING STAFF AS WELL AS IN OTHER ROLES THAT REQUIRE FILLING.
